I am 7 weeks post op on a lower eyelid bleph.  My right eye still feels very tight and "drawn up" and I have a bit of skin that

folds over the incision.  It is not really swollen, but just looks like a pleat of skin over the incision.  The left eye has just a bit of this, but not noticable.  When I went for my 6 week check up, the ocp surgeon said to massage the area and perhaps get botox to help it relax.  When I massage, I can feel the incision line on the right eye, but not the left.  Has anyone else had this happen?  Did it resolve with massage?  I can't tell much difference (maybe a tiny bit) after a week of massaging.
